  • Title: Dunning adenocarcinoma in tissue culture: isolation of a cloned cell line, R3327H-G8-A1.
    Author: Sestili MA, Norris JS, Lipschultz LI, Smith RG.
    Journal: J Urol; 1982 Apr; 127(4):823-5. PubMed ID: 7040704.
    Abstract:
    A cloned cell line, R3327H-G8-A1, was isolated from an explant of the well differentiated androgen dependent Dunning R3327H adenocarcinoma. Preliminary characterization of this cell line indicates that it is epithelial-like, and that it synthesizes and secretes large quantities of acid phosphatase. The cells bind testosterone in a saturable manner with an equilibrium dissociation constant of 0.5 nM and with a capacity of 5000 sites/cell. When these cells were injected subcutaneously into the hind flank of Copenhagen-Fischer rats, or into the dorsal or ventral lobes of the prostate, large tumors were produced 3 months following administration, thus demonstrating the tumorigenicity of the cells.
